resonant angles

resonant angles

 

 

 

 

i read your affluent affectations

and my own words committed suicide by preposition

 

of, to, in and under

duress of syllable spirit

in downtrodden dunes

buried near a sea of rapture

 

i swam on the waves of your semantic genius

death by drowning 

a rush of inordinate keeping

felt my poems seeping

into small puddles of redundancy

 

cursive swirls

coming to an inert period

 

i lay splayed on deserted beach

toes full of fruitless sand

each grain an echo of vulnerability

 

i heard my name in repeated tone

and could no longer make out 

the name "poet"

The sounds of self depreciation and self doubt resonate as if the protagonist has read someone's work he feels betters his own and he admires and it makes him feel inert and incapable.

PS if you see a post purporting to be from me and is strange or insulting click on the name and check the url. If it is not passion8 it is NOT me as there is a clone with the url 'passionidiot' operating on the site.

exactly, John...on the poem...

and thank you for the heads up...on that clone....people have nothing better to do, i guess.
